Welcome to Paradise

The Greater Holden Beach Merchants Association would like to welcome you to our little slice of paradise. We are a non-profit organization of Holden Beach  area merchants who strive to make our community a great place to live and visit. Each year the merchants association coordinates two festivals and a summer concert series. We also donate to and encourage other charitable organizations in our area.

We encourage you to take a stroll through our website – see who we are, what we offer and how you might want to become involved.
